Mr.. Barnard also submitted other pa
pers and recommended local corpora
ton to act with the proposer. He want
ed all stockmen TO have an equal chance
Of supplying the cattle, and II the sup.
ply could be had. the refrigerator must
come. The cattle, however, must be
subject to call at the stipulated prices.
Mr.. X r. Claridge thought that In fix
ing an arbitrary instead OF market price
IL would meet with opposition. He was
afraid the cattlemen would not agree to
contract to supply beef at two cents per
pound or even two and one-fourth cents
for the next twelve months, and 1t
would be a mistake to put the price
lower than what was acceptable.
Half said the question must be decid-
ed as none would invest without the
guarantee Of sufficient cattle TO run the
refrigerator.
Barnard pointed out that cattlemen
were asked simply for 100 cattle per
day. He proposed the rate of u and 2f
cent? per pound.
Major Moore said the guaranty must
be forthcoming or there would be no in
vestment. There was no cOmpulsiOD,
all that had to be said was yes or no.
Thornton said that cattlemen were
not receiving more than ] cent In
Chicago and ii was time such business
was stopped.

Ioose Jackets. and Matiuers,

Very pretty loose jackets and natinees,
says The Season, are being worn in the
country and ut the seashore, trimmed with
beautiful embroidery worked with ingram
cotton in various colors, Japanese, Russian
and Bulgarian embroidery carrying off the
palm. On some of these jackets the embroid-
cry is executed on the material ITSELF while
on others it is made on bands of the same. A
dainty effect is given to the front by pleating
il in the center and fastening down at the
side under a broad band of embroidery. The
sleeves are very often pleated-also gathered
into n deep worked band to harmonize and
the high peated collar finished Off with small
coquettish bows.
Matinees, for indoor wear, are composed Of
very beautiful stuffs and trimmed in a most
elaborate manner. Favored materials are:
plush, faille, surah, figured silk and foulard.
and for the trimmings the richest laces are
chosen. On the pleated skirt the ornamental
ton often consists of pleatngs and small
frills of the same texture and lace, or it is en-
tirely Of lace and ribbon run through the
latter finished of on one side with small
hanging bows,
The jacket worn with this reaches down
little below the skirt trimming and must be
decorated to correspond
The front is made as a rule with plastron
of same kind, and therefore open, yet dag
onal fastenngs are also IN good taste. The
plastron either forms pulled front by being
gathered Or pleated, and drawn in by strings
at the waist, OF it is Of a scarf shape, arranged
in irregular folds, and combines a jabot and
panier draperies, the lower part being caught
up with bow or ribbon rosette.
Tasteful dressing gowns are made Of fire,
soft, colored wooden materials with yokes,
upright collars and cuffs of dark plush or
velvet. The front is arranged below the yoke
n large pleats falling straight down to the
feet, and the back and sides fit tight to the
figure as far as the waist AT the back the
skirt is draped in a graceful punched style,
while at the side it is caught up lightly in folds
Very stylish dressing gowns have open
fronts filled in with gathered lace or soft silk
stuff, kept i'll place by a pointed Swiss band
of the same material. Princess shapes are
also worn, yet only the front Of the gown is
made in one piece; the back is cut short and
rounded, and the back breadths mounted full
on this

Those Old Time Straw Hats,

One seldom sees now the Panama and
Manila straw hats which were 50 much IN
favor in my hoyhood; some of them were Of
very fine workmanship, and they were kept
as carefully as family jewels, aud lasted
about as long. There was certain indi-
viduaity given 10 individuals and clnses in
the community by their straw hats in those
days; the East India and South America
merchants Lad their finely plated Panama or
Manila hats, and ciergymeu wore hats OF
dark ColOrcd straw with wide black bands,
which comported with the rest of their
clerical attire | wish our fashions IN head
gear did not run so into ruts, although am
glad 10 note that some men Of distinction
keep out Of them, There Is certain esteemed
judge Of our snpreme judicial court who, rs
soon as the court al jOurns in summer, puts
on his light colored gosSsmer felt bat. which
can he crushed into handful, and he looks
extremely comfortable in consequence. A

CAKE BASKET OF Low FORM

Cake baskets appear in both high and low
forms In New York and other eastern
cities, however, the low forms prevail These
represent at the present time the fashionable
cake basket The basket may be square,
oblong OF round in shape, and ornamented
with any Of the various prevailing styles Of
finish. The basket shown in the cut repre-
sents "a popular style, being low in form and
finished in the favorite tluted pattern.
Casters continue to be a staple article, the
small breakfast one being employed at break
fast and luncheon by many households, even
at the east, where the old time dinner caster
does not often appear. These latter, how.
ever, continue to be largely produced, notably
In the southern and western states, and are
out in style to harmonic with the decoration
Of other portions of table service.
Where the dinner caster is not used, there
are substituted one or more salad sets, ac-
cording to the size OF the table, consisting Of
two or more glass bottles or jugs in light
silver stands, the salt and pepper being fur
nished in individual shakers or cellars, as
fancy dictates. In the making of individual
salt cellars, as well as of the little butter
dishes so popular, slversmiths have wrought
many curious and pleasing designs,

With the first of October goes into
effect in Minnesota the new law
that no newspaper in that state can
legally publish legal notice or pub
lication of any sort unless the paper
has been published at least one year.
This is & stroke in the right dlrec-
tion. This in a great measure de-
feats transient and W orthless sheets
to the great benefit of worthy publi-
cations, not to say the community at
large. The newspaper business in
Dakota in many instances, has been
just about ruined by miserable and
worthless, not to say disgraceful ef-
forts, based .,wainly on legal publ
cations for subsistence. Such a law
as this should be passed by the Da-
kota legislature at its next meeting,
1t tends to sustain reputable news
papers, thus directly strengthening
the community interested, for the
latter are known by the newspapers
published therein. Col. w. NJ. Full.
ler of the Little Falls Transcript
is the man who pushed the bill
through the legislature.

1t is given out that the 80 called
indemnity limit of the N. p. railroad
company's land grant has been
thrown open for settlement and
our understanding of the meaning
of this is that soon after the company
got its first grant through congress,
40 miles of alternate sections on
either side of the track, that it. nut
in the claim that owing to reserva-
tions, settlers, etc. on the lands.
the company could not realize
the full allowance or benefits in
tended in the original grant, and
demanded ten miles more as an in
demnity, which was granted them.
Now it is said the government finds
the company undertook to secure
much more than it should have done.
hence the order, open for settlement.
We believe this includes most if not
all the big farms in the county.
